Issues with speed and display in ArcGISExplorer

[BRADBRINK]

I am having quite a few issues using ArcGIS Explorer. I recently installed this program to be able to share data with our clients. The display of the program in Windows 7 Ult 64-bit is very poor and every time the program is opened it changes the color scheme to windows 7 basic. Also the map is cut off and there seems to be a large gap in it showing my desktop(not sure what this is)?

With this being said I can still add layers to my map(which are stored locally). Zooming in, turning layers on and off, and identifying features are extremely slow compared to ArcMap10 and almost makes the program unusable.

Open to any suggestions...

I ran the compatibility tool and this workstation exceeds all requirements. Should also mention, no problems in XP.

2.7 ghz Intel Core i7, 6GB DDR3 RAM, GEFORCE9800 GTX(latest nvidia driver), WINDOWS 7 ULT 64BIT

Thanks for the E3 Settings fix.  - Not only did the color scheme change. My task bar was changing when I launched ArcGIS. I have my task bar on the right side of a second monitor. Every time I launched ArcGIS the task bar width I had set would change, causing the quicklaunch icons to be hidden. Not a smooth transition.

The program still changes the screen to windows basic every time the program is opened which I don't understand if it claims to be windows 7 compatible. But at least it is usable now.

You can add the following into the settings1500 config file, located in: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\esri\arcgis explorer

Add DisableAeroDWM="false" after the <UserSettings><E3Settings
